Position of the GAV valve doesn’t seem to help with starting. Switch to Champion W18 plugs from the original style 3X doesn’t seem to make a difference.
Any ideas for me?
Thanks

Go back to your previous post and research what the GAV and choke are - they are not the same animals even though they share the same knob. If you are familiar with small aircraft engines compare the GAV to the mixture control and the choke to the primer.
